Faith in Place’s 2026 Annual Environment & Spirituality Summit will be taking place on September 28-29. Environmental leaders, change makers and founders will come together for two days of intentional conversation. Climate leader Bill McKibben will deliver a keynote drawing on decades of organizing, writing, and movement-building to ground the Summit’s theme of Grounded Resistance in the moral and spiritual stakes of the climate crisis. He will invite Houses of Worship and communities to harness the power of organized people of faith to confront the fossil fuel industry and advance climate and environmental justice. Bill is an author, educator, and environmentalist who helped found 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign, and who has recently helped found Third Act, to build a progressive organizing movement for people over the age of 60.

September 28, 11:30AM-12:30PM
Internationally renowned public theologian and psychoanalyst Dr. Matthias Beier will explore how grounded, trust-based faith can become a source of resilience, courage, and meaningful resistance.⁠ In "Paradise is Now: Reclaiming Healthy, Grounded Faith in an Age of Divisive Fear," Dr. Beier invites us to imagine a spiritual life rooted not in fear, but in connection, hope, and collective flourishing.⁠

September 28, 6:00PM-7:00PM
Valarie Kaur will share her powerful framework of Revolutionary Love at our Annual Environment & Spirituality Summit. ⁠Through story, ancestral wisdom, and practices from her book "See No Stranger," Valarie will help us see how being rooted in wonder, grief, and rage can anchor multi-faith movements for climate justice. ⁠We will leave with concrete tools to practice revolutionary love, for ourselves, and for one another, as we cultivate grounded, long-haul resistance for the sake of our communities and the Earth.⁠

September 29, 11:30AM-12:30PM
Mary Evelyn Tucker will lead “Grounded in Earth’s Story: Mary Evelyn Tucker on Religion, Ecology, and Resistance.”⁠ Drawing from decades of work at the intersection of religion, ecology, and environmental justice, Tucker will explore how faith traditions across the world can help us reimagine our relationship with the living Earth — and inspire action rooted in care, justice, and collective transformation.⁠ Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to be Grounded Resistance: standing firmly in our values while working toward a more just and flourishing future for all life.⁠
